SNAP-HOOK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 1, 1905.

Application filed November 21, 1904:. Serial No. 233,723.

To all whom it perry concern:

Be it known that I, ELMER R. BEACH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Traverse City, in the county of Grand Traverse and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Snap-Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has relation to improvements in snap-hooks; and it consists in the construc tion and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the same.

Referring to the drawings, I provide aconstruction of snap-hook in which is shown an enlarged head 8, which may be-made cylindrical or otherwise, the base of which is provided on opposite sides with bowed springarms 3, the ends of which are bent backward to a position between the body of said arms, as shown in Fig. 1. The upperor top surface of the said head 8 is made flat, through which passes a central opening 8' for a purpose to be presently explained.

The numeral 2 denotes a ring having formed on its under surface ahead 12, said head beingconstructed to conform to the configuration of the head 8, and to the central flat under surface of the head 12 is secured a pin 8 which serves to pass through the opening 8 formed in the head 8, and a nut 9 or other fastening means is secured on the projecting end of the pin, whereby the flat surfaces of the heads 8 and 12 are pivoted or swiveled together. Instead of using a nut on the end of the pin said end may be riveted.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new is.

A snap-hook comprising an enlarged head having a flat upper surface, the base of the head being provided on opposite sides with bowed spring-arms, the ends of which are bent backward to a position between the body of said arms, a central opening in said head, a ring provided with a head having a Hat under surface, said head corresponding in shape to the head of the arms, a pintle 01' pin secured to the under surface of the ring-head and passing through the opening in the head of the arms, and means on said pin which serves to swivel the head of ring on the head of the arms, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ELMER R. BEACH.
